Hey there, boys and girls. Hope you're having a good week so far.
Don't forget to be decent to each other.
Britain's Official Albums Chart launched 60 years ago this month with Frank Sinatra's Songs for Swingin' Lovers taking the top spot in the debut version.
The all time best seller? Queen's 1981 Greatest Hits album, by a long shot.
The disc has sold more than six million copies in the UK, spent four weeks at number one, and 158 weeks in the top 40.
The band's second hits collection, Greatest Hits II, checked in at number 10 with nearly four million copies sold.
ABBA - Gold: Greatest Hits was the second-best seller with over 5 million units sold, followed by the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the best-selling studio album and the only other release to break the five million mark), Adele's 21, and Oasis' (What's the Story) Morning Glory? at number five.
Rounding out the top 10 are Michael Jackson's Thriller, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms, and Jackson's Bad.
A 1977 document that settled a lawsuit between the Beatles and Allen Klein and ended Klein's association with the group is being sold.
Moments in Time says the asking price for the document, which was John Lennon's copy of the settlement, is $95,000.
The suit was filed in 1973 and the settlement was reached in 1977.
Birthdays today include: Gareth Gates of Muse; Tanya Donnelly of Belly; Robin Wilson of Gin Blossoms; Alan Duval of UB40; Dan Murphy of Soul Asylum; Sandi Patti; and Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. #MusicalBirthdays
